AI Generated Summary

This legislative bill from Minnesota proposes the creation of an Office of Achievement and Innovation within the Department of Education. The primary role of this new office is to help school districts and charter schools find and apply innovative educational practices aimed at enhancing student performance in areas such as literacy, math, science, and career readiness. The office will focus on researching and sharing successful educational approaches and will provide advisory support to schools, although its recommendations won't be mandatory. It will also serve as a contact point for districts and schools to connect with approved nonprofit organizations proven to effectively support student academic achievement. These nonprofits must meet certain criteria, including a history of supporting education and no felonies among their principal members. Additionally, the office can withdraw its approval of a nonprofit at any time.
